Payra Bridge, Road bridge in Patuakhali, Bangladesh
Payra Bridge is a road crossing that spans the Payra River and connects two regions in southern Bangladesh. It features a large main section using box girders and an extended viaduct approach that leads traffic onto the main span.
Work started in 2014 after the region had relied on ferries for decades, with crossing times that often stretched beyond an hour. The project represented a major shift in infrastructure for southern Bangladesh.
The bridge connects two regions that were previously separated by the river, making it easier for people to visit family and do business across both sides. This new link has changed how communities interact and work together.
The bridge is easy to reach and use if you are traveling by vehicle in the region. Traffic flow varies depending on the time of day, so planning your crossing around quieter periods can make travel more pleasant.
The structure includes a system that monitors its condition by detecting lightning strikes and earth movements. This technology helps ensure the bridge remains safe and sound for many years to come.
